1. After practicing piano for several months, a little girl went to take her first piano exam. She was supposed to play a simple piece composed by Mozart. Because the examiner was standing nearby, she felt very nervous, and her performance was stiff, with several mistakes. After she finished playing, the examiner asked her to stand aside and sat down to play the piece for her. Of course, the examiner played it smoothly, accurately, and without any mistakes. After the examiner finished, the little girl sat back down. At this point, the examiner asked, "How was it? Did you notice any difference?" The little girl replied, "Yes, I noticed. The seat got much warmer."

2. The Perfect Mom
A little boy came to a department store and went straight to the women's underwear counter. He shyly said to the female salesperson, "Mother's Day is coming. I want to use the money I've saved from delivering newspapers to buy my mom a skirt." "We just got in a batch of new skirts. She will definitely like them," the salesperson encouraged. "What size do you need?" "Size," the little guy looked troubled, "I don't know." "It's okay. Tell me, is your mom tall or short, fat or thin?" the kind salesperson asked, "I can help you decide." "My mom is perfect. She's neither fat nor thin, nor tall nor short," the boy proudly replied. But the salesperson didn't know what happened next. Over the next twenty years, the "perfect mom" kept that skirt tucked away in her top drawer and never wore it once. I am this happy mother. I wear size 52 clothes, but he bought size 42.
Ilin's Wisdom: A child is still the best for their own mother.
3. The Plus Sign
There was a family where the child's math grades were always poor. The parents changed schools for him many times, and finally, they enrolled him in a church elementary school, where the child's math grades ranked first. The parents were very puzzled and asked, "Is it because the teacher is good?" The child said, "No." The parents asked again, "Is it because the textbooks are different?" The child said, "No." The parents asked, "Then why?" The child said, "The moment I walk into the classroom, I know they take math seriously because the moment I enter, I see someone nailed to a plus sign!"
Ilin's Wisdom: Without a good environment, even the best music is just noise.
4. The Child's Question
A smooth-talking salesman was pitching the "Children's Encyclopedia" to a young woman, claiming that his set could answer any question a child might ask. At that moment, the young woman's little son, Henry, came home. The salesman immediately patted Henry's head and said, "Little buddy, ask me any question, let me show your mom how I find the answer you're looking for in the book." Henry: "What kind of car does God drive?" The salesman packed up his books and left silently.
Ilin's Wisdom: A child's question can stump God.
